Answer 1

(b) The Civil Disobedience Movement was formed in the year 1930 and was one of the most important phases in the Indian National Movement. The main ideology behind the Civil Disobedience Movement was to defy the laws made by the British. The British government was pressurized by the Indian National Congress to accept the Nehru Report (1928) as it is. The Calcutta Session of the INC held in 1928 warned the British government that it would start a Civil Disobedience Movement if India was not granted the dominion status. 2nd March 1930 is remembered as one of the important days in Indian history as the Civil Disobedience Movement was launched on that day. The launch triggered off with a Dandi Salt March where the British Salt was broken.
